The space
This freshly-refreshed 7 bedroom, 5 bath home has an unequaled dune front location, with direct private beach access (shared with one other home). Indulge in striking ocean vistas from any of 3 Sunrise Decks, and gaze over the wetlands to Pamlico Sound beyond from any of 3 private Sunset Balconies or the top level Breakfast Deck.  Prepare a surf-and-turf feast on the Panorama Deck's outdoor kitchen/grille/bar, refresh in the 2nd deck hot tub, relax on the 1st deck hammock, picnic in the enclosed yard, and play on the outdoor volleyball court.

Savor your morning coffee while taking in the sunrise over the ocean or observe the eclectic mix of shore birds dip for their own breakfast and take flight . Finish the day with a charming glass of wine, watching the sunset over the Pamlico Sound as the deer and otters make their evening appearance in the wetlands, and colors change in the Atlantic Ocean.

The hours between coffee and moon rise beckon umbrellas and sand castles. Be sure to have a camera handy to capture the memories of your close family and friends, found beach treasures and wildlife including the Cape's famed ghost crabs. Get your dose of Vitamin Sea as you spend an idyllic day on the national seashore collecting shells, taking an invigorating dip in the ocean, savor the surfing, or fishing from Rodanthe pier--just a 5 min. walk down the beach.

Tricks and tips to get the perfect rental experience:

Find your best deal:

• To get the best value, try shifting your family's Hatteras trip dates to the Spring or Fall months. May, September, and even October offer excellent weather, fewer crowds, and greatly reduced traffic. Many vacationers use this method to find larger homes within budget, or to book a beach front vacation rental that would otherwise be unavailable during the Summer. Speaking of the off-season, don't overlook Winter holidays for a Hatteras vacation! Who wouldn't love a holiday on the coast? Thanksgiving and Christmas are great times to gather with loved ones at your favorite beach.
• The earlier your group can book a vacation rental, the easier your search will be. The most desirable rental properties are booked very early. Booking your rental 6-12 months before your travel dates is recommended. Holidays such as Christmas and Thanksgiving are excellent times to search for and reserve your rental home.
• Active Duty and veterans of the US Armed forces may qualify for special discounts. Be sure to ask your prospective vacation rental company or host whether your family qualifies for a price reduction.
• Property managers usually offer their guests an option to obtain trip insurance. Trip insurance, which will generally cost between 1% - 5% of the base booking price, offers visitors reimbursement of their vacation costs for missed days as a result of medical-related issues or weather disasters, as well as ensuing additional hurricane evacuation costs or charges, such as an unexpected hotel or additional fuel expenses. Trip insurance can be a a welcome relief if the unforeseen happens. Ask your host for details.
• Look for your local Hatteras area magazine upon checking in. If your rental doesn't have one, you can find them at local grocery stores and visitor centers. In addition to great local articles, visitor guides have coupons for local tours, shops, and attractions.

Narrow your rental Search:

• Select a group lead, choose your dates, and select a budget.
• Note the number beds and what type of bedroom configuration your family needs. \"Get away from the world?\" \"Stunning\" \"Phenomenal\" has 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. If you need a larger or smaller rental, use our Hatteras vacation rental search.
• Specific descriptions of bedrooms and bed types is normally available on booking pages. If you don't see them listed, call the property owner before you reserve the home. Remember that most properties list the maximum guest capacity, which typically includes sofa beds.
• Visiting for a specific event? Use a map search to locate nearby properties.
• Suitable accessibility can make or break a vacation for persons with a disability. Confirm all required amenities are available before booking.
• If your group is traveling with pets, filter your search for a pet-friendly property. Make sure to ask for information on breed, weight, and type restrictions. Usually, property owners require additional pet deposits and fees.

Know before you go:

• Review check in & check out procedures before leaving home. Take a printed copy, and save the directions to your smartphone.
• To make certain that damages are not attributed to your stay, inspect for any problem areas upon check in. E-mail the rental manager right away to relay any damages. If there is a dispute, having a record of concerns and contact attempts will be helpful.
• Hosts are great sources of help! Don't be shy to ask any questions during your stay.
• Respecting quiet hours and parking policies can make a stay significantly more pleasurable. Be a good neighbor. You will magnify your chance to make local friends, and resident neighbors can be a fantastic resource to find the best local beaches.
• Don't forget to... Ask a local! Residents can often point you in the right direction. Who better to ask where to spend a rainy day, have a great night on the town, or the best spots for shopping?
• Keep the property locked while you're away! Don't let thieves ruin your vacation.
• Double-check the property to make sure that you've packed all personal items at check-out. Remember to check dressers, closets, and bathrooms for hidden treasure. Clean the refrigerator and take any leftovers home.
• Go through the property one final time and scan for damages to contents or the property itself. We suggest walking through with the host whenever possible. If the host is not available, take video of the property to record its condition at check-out.
• Leave a review! Property managers rely on excellent ratings to stimulate more reservations. They'll be grateful for your feedback. Alternatively, if something wasn't right, other families will appreciate that you share your review find their best rental home. Remember to be objective. If something fell short of expectations, consider whether the property manager could control the issue, and if so, whether they responded quickly to solve it.
